Top Marrakech Bird Watching

Ride a camel through a palm grove oasis on a tour of the Marrakech Palmeraie with a traditional glass of mint tea. Departure is timed for sunset to make the most of cooler temperatures and gorgeous light for photography. Pre-booking ensures round-trip transport from your hotel, saving you the hassle of haggling over taxis or negotiating guide fees.

On the first day, ride to Imlil from Marrakesh and begin your trek. You'll head along the Ait Mizane Valley, pass through the village of Aremd and onto the shrine of Sidi Chamarouch. You’ll follow mule tracks into the high rocky cliffs, climbing steadily above the snow line until you reach the Toukbal Refuge. Rest here for the night. On the second day, you’ll follow the southern circle route. The climb itself is not highly strenuous, but scree and altitude changes may make it difficult in parts. Don't worry - there are plenty of views to distract you along the way. When you reach the summit, soak in the 360-degree-view. You'll see the Marrakech Plain and the High Atlas Mountains to the north, all the way to the Anti-Atlas Mountains and the Sahara Desert in the south. From the peak, you’ll head back down the mountain and return to Marrakesh via Imill.
